Two hours simultaneously passed so quickly and felt like it lasted forever (in the best possible sense). We had a good, energetic group and a guide (Emmett) to match. He could read the group and gave us a great ride. I'm already talking to a few other friends about organizing a trip.

Be prepared to get wet in places you didn't even know you had, and definitely don't wear anything that you can't do without. Don't worry about trying to wear water-wear or protective gear because Adventure Tours will provide you with full rain-gear, rubber boots, life-jacket and a helmet upon your arrival. All you need to worry about is holding and trying not to swallow too much water :) You'll want to call in advance to find out when is a good time to go. Apparently they can determine the size of the waves based on the fullness of the moon - the fuller the moon, the crazier the rafting experience. Chances are that your boat will not flip over, however, there's a fair chance that somebody may fall out, this happens frequently and is not a big deal. In addition to the rafting you'll also have a chance to go mud-sliding, where you'll get ridiculously dirty and have a great time. After the rafting and mudslinging is over and you've worked up an appetite, Adventure Tours provides you with a BBQ and beverages, and you have a chance to sit down, relax and dry, or if you prefer, go for a dip in their swimming pool. You're guaranteed to have a great time!

It is pretty darn impressive. After we had our fill of watching water reach the peak and then reverse course, we went into the Discovery Center, where a lovely woman -- wish I could remember her name -- explained what we had seen, patiently and repeatedly explained to a tourist that 12 meters of water doesn't arrive in a huge tidal wave, and answered various questions. After everyone else left, we asked her more questions about NS She was great: recommendations for restaurants, which back roads to take, and more. Hats off to this super friendly and helpful Bluenoser. She did everything but invite us over for dinner.

There was four groups doing tandem skydiving when we arrived and we were the third group up. The instruction given beforehand was fantastic and done in a very lighthearted way so that everybody was put at ease. When it came time for us to take our turn, they helped get us all geared up. From there we were on the plane and we had an amazing trip up. The scenery is absolutely spectacular and one of the instructors did a great job speaking to my daughter before hand to keep her at ease. When it was time to jump everything went extremely smooth and it was the rush of a lifetime. The first couple seconds in freefall it's like nothing you've ever experienced especially with the ground coming rushing up at you. However, everything is done extremely professionally and once the shoot was pulled we floated our way down. The two people running this even come close enough for my daughter and I to wave at each other. It was the experience of a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend this to anybody. If you're going to do this, spend the extra to have it recorded. It would definitely be worth it.

"I'm bored of sitting in this plane, I think I'll see what happens if I step outside."…read more You may not have had that thought, but I sure have. So, it was off to Berwick, I went. You have two options: a five-hour training class so you can jump solo or a 30-minute session so you can jump tandem. Tandem does cost more but you get to go higher and are in and out a lot faster. Solo costs less and you can jump again for only a fraction of the price. I've actually gone twice. The first time, I took the training session. It was very complete; I truly felt confident for my first jump. The downside was having to wait. They only have two small planes and one was in for its annual checkup. The first time: Stepping out of the plane (no jumping here - you basically hang onto the wing of the plane until you're cleared to jump), I did have that moment of "Well, now this is clearly insane." Once I let go, however, I found it almost relaxing; just a nice gentle drift to the ground - no crazy stunt attempts for me! Safety is emphasized here (which you'd expect/hope). You are trained how to correct most of the common challenges; you have a back-up chute; you have an automated chute if you are unable for some reason to pull your own and a one-way radio so they can guide you down. When you're done, you receive a certificate of completion and an invitation to come back. The second time: This time I brought my friend Holly who wanted to try the tandem. I had contacted the owner/lead instructor in advance to confirm he could tandem with a blind diver. While he never had, he welcomed the challenge and was fantastic in person! He and Holly hit it off and she had a great time. Before I went up again, I got a crash (sorry) course to remind me of the key processes. Then up I went! More adventurous this time, I did some tight spins and had a blast. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a little adventure.

I'd heard about Victoria Park and its waterfall a year or two ago, but never actually found it…read more This past weekend was beautiful and we decided to take a drive and explore the old Highway #2. We ended up in Truro - and followed the little signs to the Park. Bottom line - well worth the 1-1 1/2 hour drive from Halifax. There's a great playground area for kids, an outdoor pool open from June for the summer, picnic spots galore, loads of parking and fantastic hiking. There's Jacob's Ladder - 175 very steep steps, or take a more leisurely stroll along a winding, stream with rapids that end at a terrific waterfall. I admit it. I'm a sucker for waterfalls, even if it's just a trickle of water escaping from a mountain side. Even though this one is nothing like Niagara Falls, it's a wonderful place to hang out. Next time I'll pack a picnic lunch.
